How about offering a huge battery pack for the FW13 that extends to the space that the speakers are covering, those willing to make this sacrifice could just use the extra battery to connect to Bluetooth or use headphones
Certainly could be a banger wacky idea and surprisingly popular with consumers
That’s gonna be a very expensive battery, stretching the tooling costs between all 5 customers.
Remeber that “people that own any framework laptop” is already a small customer base.
You might be right and with the new bios you could also buy a cheap one that charges slower
I just think the idea of a marketplace is amazing, I would like at least a few weird things on there, they should come up with a bunch and make one of it real with community feedback
A different way to get there (longer battery life) would be to see if the motherboard could host an ARM chip, just saying/asking if that’s a possibility.
Probably not
and
a) there are numerous other topics on that
b) The bios has to be updated especially for each battery. This was done when the option to increase from 55Wh to 61Wh emerged. Do you expect Framework to order from INSYDE an updated BIOS for whatever capacity battery a user wants. Totaly unreasonable.
c) Larger batteries will have a higher charge rate which will produce more heat
d) Extra cooling facilities, more holes or another fan
Definitely not a realistic idea, but you can still remove the speakers and maybe put two small backup batteries in the location.
